Pedersen was killed after he lost control of his vehicle and it rolled on Highway 30 west of Maxwell.

Kramer said officers are always saddened by needless loss of life and the loss of a productive young adult is even worse.

“The tragedy is compounded when alcohol is a direct cause of the loss.” he said. “The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is committed to minimizing these needless tragedies by doing all we can to avert underage drinking.”
